Advisory Committee on <strong>Court</strong> Security<br />
& Emergency Preparedness<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Court</strong>’s Advisory Committee on <strong>Court</strong> Security<br />
& Emergency Preparedness provides ongoing advice to the<br />
Chief Justice on issues <strong>of</strong> security and safety in courts and<br />
courthouses throughout the state. Chaired by Justice O’Connor,<br />
the advisory committee also assists in the development <strong>of</strong><br />
emergency preparedness and continuity <strong>of</strong> operations plans<br />
by courts, as well as the promulgation <strong>of</strong> statewide standards<br />
related to these issues.<br />
During 2008, the committee worked with the <strong>Ohio</strong> Peace<br />
Officer Training Academy to overhaul its training for bailiff<br />
certification and the requirements for firearms re-qualification.<br />
<strong>The</strong> committee also initiated the <strong>Court</strong>’s Inappropriate<br />
Communications program and updated Appendix C <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Rules <strong>of</strong> Superintendence for <strong>Ohio</strong> <strong>Court</strong>s, which addresses<br />
court security standards.<br />
